HEW YORK, Deo. . During the after
noon the bona market aevciopea
i atrength, ftithouglf trading vtaS not aot-
1t, and prices were generally up from
J last night's closing. In some cases over a
f point The two principal topics of in-
t tercet today were the notion of tho New
Torlt Central directors In deferring tho
regular quarterly dividend of 1V4, per cent.
' Md another rlso In relehsmark exchange
1 to a new high level for the present move
ment
Colorado and Southern .refunding Us
were a feature, advancing 2 points to 76
from yesterday's close. The sharp rise
ni nM in be the result of tho action
i of the Miners' Union Jn calling off tho
J strike In the Colorado coal fields. Mls
fsourl Pacific 4s were active, being up
',i points.

which 'were strong In the trading yes
terday, were up H. Texas Company
convertible 6s woro up 1, while Lorlllard
7s woro up 2 points at 41.
- The vigorous buying which made
IWck Island Issues prominent features
In the lost two weeks was no longer In
evidence, and those Issues sustained,
moderate losses under small selling.
There was diminished trading-In stocks,
through the Clearing Houeo and on tho
eurb. United States Steel common was
ment ofshrd shrdl c shrd cshreshrdcmfwy
heavy, with offerings at 48H The state
ment of unfilled orders to bo published
tomorrow Is expected to Bhow a decrease
of over 00,000 tons, as new business has
been slow and under the output of the
corporation.
Stock Exchange authorities are prepar
ing a now ruling In regard to trading In
International Issues. The purpose Is to
prevent trading in stocks in which foreign
holdings are large, but Important foreign
bankers state that all American Issues,
from COrn Products to Sears-Roebuck, nro
held in large amounts on the other side
of the Atlantic, and that an embargo
against so-called international Issues
would prevent trading In all but a few
stocks. Brooklyn Rapid Transit- Is tho
most Important exception, foreign hold
ings of that stock being comparatively
small.
Exchange on Berlin continues so strong
as to cause general comment. There
was a further advance to 02&, for
Relchsmark cables, with the supply
so small and demand so urgent that
sellers could practically fix their Own
prices. Tho demand Is still attributed
to sales of Gorman-held bonds, but bank
ers with Berlin connections Insist that
heavy Imports of German goods through
Scandinavia and Holland have been so
large In the last week as to give a good
reason for the sudden demand for remit
tances to Berlin. Nine ships from this

WHEAT STRONGER
ON FAIR BDYING
AT CHICAGO TODAY
Steadiness Abroad and Re
ports That Farmers Are
Selling Less Freely Inspire
Confidence.
CHICAGO, Dee. 3. Wheat was stronger
this morning on moderate commission
houso buying, Inspired by steadiness
abroad and reports that farmers In Kan
sns, Oklahoma and Nebraska were sell
ing less freely, and asking higher prices.
Longs sold on tho bulge, however, and tha
market reacted.
Wire service to the East was poor and
trade was again hampered. Statistics
wero Incomplete, At Liverpool business
was dull, but winter offers thero were
firmer, nnd an advance of 3d. was paid
for Pinto In some cases. News regarding;
tho weather In Argentina was conflicting.
Some ndvlces said that conditions wero
fine there, while others stated that the
weather wns unsettled, with some 'rain.
Semiofficial reports havo been received
that the area of winter and spring wheat
In Itussla shows a decrease of 2,111,000
acres.
Rumania reports a. material increase
In the nrca of wheat, with tho weather
favorable. Reserves there, however, are
small, owing to large purchases by Ger
many and Austria before the war. Tho
now crop In Bulgaria Is doing well. Crop
developments In France are satisfactory.
Rain has fallen over a large area in
Australia.
The receipts of wheat hero todav wero
174 cars. In the United States, rain or
snow throughout the winter wheat belt
has been of great assistance.
Corn opened a little firmer on unsettled
weather, but reacted. Recolpts continue
large. The cash demand Is poor. Tho
arrivals here today were 819 cars.
Oats wero quiet; after opening steady,
prices reacted. The recelDts here tndnv
wero 210 cars.
